Hidden Gem: Marietas Islands & Hidden Beach
Set sail on a luxury experience to the magical Marietas Islands, a group of volcanic islands protected as part of a National Park and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This 9-hour adventure from Puerto Vallarta or Punta Mita will show you why this destination is considered one of Mexico’s most iconic natural treasures.
On this exclusive journey, you’ll have the opportunity to visit the world-famous Hidden Beach, also known as Playa del Amor. To reach this natural wonder, you’ll swim through a water tunnel of about 50 meters, and once inside, you’ll find a breathtaking paradise: a secret beach beneath a natural dome, surrounded by turquoise waters and soft white sand. This unique spot is one of the most photographed places in all of Mexico’s Pacific coast.
During your voyage, admire the extraordinary biodiversity of the islands: exotic seabirds such as blue-footed boobies (the emblem of the Marietas), magnificent frigates, and seagulls soaring above the cliffs. In the water, a snorkeling session of 30–40 minutes will reveal a vibrant underwater world of tropical fish, rays, and colorful reefs — a true paradise for nature and adventure lovers.
The experience also takes you to Playa La Nopalera, a calm and iconic beach where you can swim just a few meters from the boat and enjoy 30–40 minutes surrounded by dramatic rock formations. You’ll also marvel at the Puente de Piedra (Stone Arch), a natural rock bridge best admired from the yacht — perfect for capturing incredible photos.
All of this is paired with the comfort and premium service that defines our luxury yacht experiences: a professional crew, onboard chef preparing a gourmet à la carte menu with fresh local ingredients, attentive hostess, and a skilled mixologist serving unlimited premium cocktails.
The Marietas Islands are not only a destination of unmatched beauty but also a symbol of conservation and one of Mexico’s most iconic attractions. This adventure blends nature, adventure, and luxury, offering an unforgettable experience that goes beyond the ordinary.
The duration of this experience is 9 hours, giving you plenty of time to immerse yourself in the wonders of the Riviera Nayarit and create memories that last a lifetime. With the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure, this luxury yacht excursion is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity you cannot miss.
Our All-Inclusive package ensures you enjoy every moment: from water inflatables, aquatic mats, and paddleboards, to a fully stocked premium bar and exquisite meals prepared just for you.

An incredible experience, it is worth noting the professionalism and excellent attention of the crew, Capi Reyes, the hostess Michele, the sailor Jorge and the chef Simon!!! Unbeatable presentation of the yacht and the best place to taste the delicious catering, as well as the place chosen to enjoy the sea!! Far exceeded our expectations

The crew was fantastic. Took care of us all throughout with drinks and the beach destination. Food, food, food... uh-mazing! Drinks-a-flowing and perfect day on the water.

This yacht trip made my bachelorette weekend! Not only because 12 of my closest friends were there, but the entire Kattu staff was AMAZING! Darwin y Ramon, Ricardo, Sofia, Riqo, and Victor were top notch. They made it so fun, kept the drinks flowing and the food coming (delicious by the way). Hands down would recommend this and especially this crew!!!

Easily the best part of our trip to the area. Food was delicious, served in a variety of styles, and the drinks were fantastic. Shout to to Christina, Reyes, Erick, and Manuel for curating a date we'll never forget. Can't wait to come back, I hope we have the exact same crew.

I found Yacht Experiences on google when we were staying at a hotel nearby. We had friends coming in to stay and we wanted to surprise them with something fun. When I saw the reviews they had, I requested a boat. I was able to communicate with them through Whatsapp and it was extremely convenient and easy. Everything was up front and pricing and everything was clear. They picked us up from our hotel and brought us to the marina. We were greeted by a full staff on the Wingman with Captain Reyes, Chef Abimel, Bartender Marciel, Hostess Marina, and Colocho! All of them were amazing and professional. Every one of them were there for us constantly asking us if we were ok. Captain Reyes recognized that I looked a little seasick and quickly took us to an area where we anchored away from any waves. It was AMAZING. The food was top notch, much better than even our hotel food. Thank you, Chef Abimel! The drinks were great, thank you Marciel! Marina was constantly watching us to make sure we had everything we needed. Colocho took us snorkeling for a little bit and was very attentive. Colocho was also swimming us out shots of tequila and food to eat on the paddle board! We will definitely come back, and I have recommended them to anyone traveling to the area! Such an amazing experience!

Did the 9 hour tour of El Cielo with YE. The 51’ Leopard was beautiful. Super stable for the long ride and quite fast for a cat. Crew was attentive and professional. Food was gourmet and over the top good. I had 10 people and we had plenty of room. Boat was very clean. Most of my group had never enjoyed a yacht experience. They were blown away!!! Perfect day. Perfect crew. Highly recommend
